"They were weak, and yet were made strong." Heb 11:34 NCVEmbrace Your DisadvantagesA pastor writes: "Around the turn of the twentieth century, a pioneering psychologist named Alfred Adler proposed the counterintuitive theory of compensation. Adler believed that perceived disadvantages often prove to be disguised advantages because they force us to develop attitudes and abilities that would have otherwise gone undiscovered. And it'd only as we compensate for those disadvantages that our greatest gifts are revealed. Seventy percent of the art students that Adler studied had optical anomalies. He observed that some of history's greatest composers, Mozart and Beethoven among them, had degenerative traces in their ears. He cited a...wide variety of vocations, of those who leveraged their weakness by discovering new strengths. Adler concluded that perceived disadvantages, such as birth defects, physical ailments, and poverty, can be springboards to success. And that success is not achieved in spite of those perceived disadvantages. It's achieved because of them...In one study of small-business owners...35 percent of them were self-identified dyslexics. That disadvantage forced this group of entrepreneurs to cultivate different skill sets. Some of them became more proficient at oral communication because reading was so difficult. Others learned to rely on well-developed social skills to compensate for the challenges they faced in the classroom. And all of them cultivated a work ethic that might have remained dormant if reading had come easy for them...Our greatest advantages may actually be hidden in our greatest disadvantages, if we learn to leverage them." That's sufficient reason to praise God for your perceived disadvantages and challenges.If you would like to request a copy of a devotional booklet, please visit our website to request yours today (mountaingospel.org)!!You can also request one for a loved one, a friend, a neighbor, and your church family!

"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." Jn 13:35 NKLVThe Ultimate Test of Your DiscipleshipDesigner clothes brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren are recognized by their designs and by their trademarks. These trademarks make them immensely visible and identifiable. Sometimes workers in certain industries are identified by their attire, such as a surgeon who wears scrubs, or a policeman who wears a uniform, or a judge who wears robes. And Jesus has given to us something as irrefutable evidence that we are close to God-a test whereby you can evaluate your own spiritual growth. In fact, so amazing is this trademark that He said it would be the foremost declaration of your faith. Jesus said it like this: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love one another" (vv. 34-35 NKJV). Francis Schaeffer, the great Christian apologist, said, "Love is the final apologetic. It is the defense for which there is no defense." When a woman is pregnant with a child, there comes a point where we say that is "showing". The life growing inside her begins to grow and show on the outside. Likewise, the Bible says, "The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us" (Ro 5:5). And John writes, "Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another" (1 Jn 4:11 NKJV). Love; it's the ultimate test of your discipleship.If you would like to request a copy of a devotional booklet, please visit our website to request yours today (mountaingospel.org)!!You can also request one for a loved one, a friend, a neighbor, and your church family!

"Live happily with the woman you love...The wife God gives you is your reward." Ecc 9:9 NLTThe Roles In MarriageHere is an illustration of the different roles in marriage: A husband's job is like that of a thermostat, to set the temperature in the home. The wife's job is like that of a thermometer, to give a temperature reading. And the reading of the thermometer should indicate the setting of the thermostat. If a man wants a warm wife, he can't bring home frosty weather. Here is another illustration of the two different roles in marriage: For grapevines to become the most fruitful, their branches have to be elevated, so vinedressers tie them to a post for support. As grapes mature and grow, the vine becomes too heavy and begins to drag on the ground. Elevation keeps the grapes off the soil, and helps them receive the whole benefit of the sun. After a while, the branches start to spread along the post where they're tied. Because they have been stabilized, they're free to climb and spread and maximize heir potential for fruitfulness. In the same way, when a husband provides stability in the home, it allows a woman to feel secure and cared for. She is then free to thrive, to grow, and to be fruitful. Again Solomon weighs in with his wisdom: "Live happily with the woman you love...The wife God gives you is your reward...Whatever you do, do well" (vv.9-10 NLT). The time, love, and attention you invest in your wife will bring you a reward of great blessing, satisfaction, and fulfillment. And when you do your part, you can count on God to do His.If you would like to request a copy of a devotional booklet, please visit our website to request yours today (mountaingospel.org)!!You can also request one for a loved one, a friend, a neighbor, and your church family!

"O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help." Ps 86:5 NLTA Prayer For Deliverance From Guilt"Heavenly Father, although I've repented and genuinely regret my actions, the guilt of my sin continually torments me. The burden of it is too heavy for me to bear any longer, so I am turning to you for deliverance. Your Word declares that you are ready to forgive me (See Neh 9:17), and that you have an abundance of mercy for all who call upon you (See Isa 55:7). The problem is, I'm having a hard time accepting your forgiveness and releasing myself from the remorse of my sin. Help me to comprehend and receive your promise that says, 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness' (1 Jn 1:9). You said in Your Word, 'I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins' (Isa 43:25). Drawing on the power of Your Spirit, I choose to no longer let thoughts of guilt and condemnation rob me of the peace and joy you offer. I stand on Your Word which says, 'As far as the east is from the west, so far you have removed my transgressions from me' (See Ps 103:12). You have said, 'Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more' (Heb 10:17 NKJV). Since you have chosen not to remember it, help me to forget it and stop rehearsing it. Beginning today, I declare, 'The blood of Jesus Christ God's Son cleanses me from all sin!'" (See 1 Jn 1:7).If you would like to request a copy of a devotional booklet, please visit our website to request yours today (mountaingospel.org)!!You can also request one for a loved one, a friend, a neighbor, and your church family!
